Christmas stuff questions - mini white tree, decorations, etc

ash777

Hey, does anyone know where you could get a mini white Christmas tree, in Cork city, preferably, or even in Blackpool or Wilton? Like, not a tiny one for a desk, but a normal mini one? Or, any chain shops that are country-wide, that'd probably have the same stuff in all branches? Shall probably be needing silver tinsel - a Euro shop, probably? Anybody know where to get mini decorations for the mini tree, or would normal ones look okay? I'd be looking for girly ones, I suppose, I'm not mad on traditional red and green colour schemes - like, I'd love pink/purples/icy blues/silvers In case I sound dumb :rolleyes: , this is my first time really buying Christmas decorations

Also, is Heaton's any good for Chrimbo stuff? I've never actually been in a Heaton's, there's one out the road from me though, like, what sort of a shop is Heaton's is it sort of end-of-line/slight-seconds/discounted sort of stuff (mainly) or how is it categorised, as a shop?

Oh, does anyone know anywhere to get plain white and red candy canes - they've big ones in Tesco, and small green and red ones, but no normal sized white and red ones? :eek:

Last question - are most places still doing the E6 for a tin or Celebrations/Heroes/Quality Street/Roses, as I noticed that Tesco had put 'em up to full price again, grr :eek:

Tesco, Wilton had small white christmas trees last friday night for 7 euro. They also do a good range of decorations as do penneys in wilton. I think Penneys had the candy canes aswell.

Heatons and Next in Blackpool also have some nice stuff and not that expensive.

I would try Argos for the mini white tree (something like 3 ft tall?)
I would put heatons in the same line (amybe a bit better) then penneys.
You can normally get a bag of small candie canes in any €uro shop.
I think Tescos have there tinned sweets (roses etc) on sale for €5 since yesterday. :-)

Heatons have boxes of candy canes, they also have packets of character candy canes for kids, moshi monsters, mickey mouse.. We get the boxes every year to hang off the tree, but they never seem to make it to Christmas

Argos and Tesco have 3ft white trees.
Dunnes have a tube of mixed purple/pink/silver/blue mini baubles.
Dealz have tinsel, boxes of mini candy canes ideal for a mini tree. They also have christmas lights and so many other things for only 1.49 each.

Your nearest Dealz is 1 Queen's old castle, Grand Parade, Cork City.

Argos have a 3ft white pop up tree including 25 white lights and 35 baubles of the colours you want for e20.24 no is:269/9653.
